Dental demons sent packing

Too scared to go to the dentist? You probably have dental phobia, an extreme state of anxiety and fear that makes people panic when they need to make a dental appointment. It’s a real thing that affects a surprising one in 10 people.

Fear no more. MyDental in Ballsbridge is offering a four-hour cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) workshop (€50) for phobics, in conjunction with Donnybrook Centre, a psychotherapy and counselling service.

The workshop will run on Saturday, February 7th from 9am-1pm. For more information, email info@mydental.ie
